This list does not take into account the fact that the following moves could be Sketched, used via Metronome, or obtained from events. This list does not include Shadow moves, which—with the exception of Shadow Rush—are all exclusive to Pokémon XD. This also does not include moves of Pokémon who cannot obtained in-game in any version of the Generation, such as Deoxys during Generation IV and V.

Signature move of Lugia, which cannot learn Aeroblast in Gold and Crystal, due to the lowest legitimate level of Lugia in these games being level 70 and level 60 respectively, and the lack of a Move Reminder.

Signature move of Ho-Oh, which cannot learn Sacred Fire in Silver and Crystal, due to the lowest legitimate level of Ho-Oh in these games being 70 and level 60 respectively, and the lack of a Move Reminder.
